King Crimson are the obvious choice for the first and second polls in this series, but after that it's anyone's guess who's going to win.

First seeing this poll. Went with Bruford. The KC debut is by far the most important album and I like it, but if I am being honest with myself, I have listened to the Bruford album far more.

Is there any point in saying who I voted for?  All I can say is it's difficult to catch up with all of Paul's polls, always full of great music and interesting ideas. |

Yes, I've been busy putting together a few other polls in the meantime since posting this first King Crimson poll last week and I can promise the second poll in this series will be coming up sometime next week. If you have The Power to Believe, I'm planning to keep this series of polls running right through to King Crimson's thirteenth and final album in 2003.

Psych. Paul:
It's been a week since this one's been up. Any chance you will continue this series? I'd like to see how some of the less popular Crimson albums will fare against their solo competitors. Thanks!

CENTIPEDE Septober Energy:- An often overlooked (especially by me) Jazz Fusion classic in the King Crimson canon, produced by Robert Fripp with a huge band led by Keith Tippett featuring no less than fifty players (thereby having a hundred legs like a centipede).   1971: Centipede - Septober Energy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs_Y_Q5F5S4

I wasn't so precise in my remark, as what I meant was "this series of polls". |

Adrian Belew even managed to pick up one vote (from Grumpy) against the might Crimson King, which I wasn't expecting. I've seen the long list of albums coming up in later King Crimson polls and this first poll is as good as it gets, mainly because many of the excellent artists featured in this first poll didn't make a second album.

Greg Lake's debut album should have been great. I can still easily list all the main band, other than Greg himself, Gary Moore on lead guitar, Ted McKenna (ex Rory Gallagher on drums), Tommy Eyre on keyboards, Tristram Margetts on bass (from jazz fusion band Spontanious Combustion). Superb 5 peice line up that kicked serious ass live (you would expect it though) but the album lacked a lot. I like It Hurts and the Gary Moore song Nuclear Attack but after that it's mostly dead weight. The second album was even worse and therein lies the death of Greg's solo career. He never really got going again eventually doing 2 solo tours (one in the 00's and one in the 2010's) but no new material. Lovely guy but it seems that he got as about a 'lucky man' as you can get by ending up in a band with Emerson and Palmer.

Kind of hard to top KC's debut. Chimerical beets are in the back seat being cattywampus.

I've actually been to Pershore where Bob & Toyah live - didn't bump into her, tho one or two of the local shopkeepers said she is very pleasant and ordinary (given her iconic status).

Toyah (Scissorhands) and Robert with the weirdest (and funniest) ZZ Top cover version you're ever likely to see. They're only missing Frank Beard (the one without a beard) on drums.

I met Toyah briefly in an hotel in Newcastle where I was working back in 1981, she was touring the 'Anthem' album and she was staying there after a gig in Newcastle, so I have always had a soft spot for that album.
What a lovely lady she was (and still is).
